Position 1 of over 120k tests taken with 134WPM???

So about 2 weeks ago I just randomly did a typing test and this was the result: http://10fastfingers.com/speedtests/generate_screenshot_result/1_134_725_0_0_131_9_100_1_123636

This is my record: http://10fastfingers.com/speedtests/generate_screenshot_result/1_143_744_0_0_139_5_99.98_31_132248

doesn't make any sense, the tests were taken on different days but I still think rank 1 with 134 wpm is a bug if 143 wpm was rank 31. Did this happen to anyone else or was that actually the rank 1 result somehow? It was the basic english typing test btw, and no it's not photoshopped/edited before someone asks, this is legit the result the site gave me after taking the test...

It says so right there: On one day, your 134wpm were #1 and on another day, 143wpm were only #31. Not everyone is always at his best form or makes typing tests every day, so of course the maximum wpm of #1 can vary a bit. And as the tests in the highscore are only valid for 24 hours, there has to be some fluctuation, and some of that got you to #1 with an (as you say) worse result than your all-time high.

The calculation is indeed incorrect, and often seems to be only an approximation. I don't know if it's an error in the code or caused by a bug.
